Leviticus 17:11 And The Theology Of Sacrifice, Robert Clancy
Leviticus 17:11 And The Theology Of Sacrifice, Robert Clancy
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
It should be noted from the start that "objectivity” as it is commonly understood is not a goal of this thesis. The primary reason is that such objectivity is considered Tobe impossible. That is, if by "objectivity" one means that one reads and studies a text without presuppositions and without a hermeneutic, then one is striving after wind. No reader is a tabula rasa. All scholars read texts from within a given school of thought. Historical critics have certain presuppositions regarding texts, for instance, starting with the assumption that cultic material is late (post-exilic). Redaction critics assume the existence of …
Aspects Of The Calendar Of The Hebrew Bible And Its Theological Significance, Charles Blanco
Aspects Of The Calendar Of The Hebrew Bible And Its Theological Significance, Charles Blanco
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of the thesis is twofold. We endeavor to provide the exegetical base for the understanding of the calendar used by God's4people in the Old Testament. There is, of course, a certain heuristic value to our topic for Old Testament studies at large. Beyond that, we find our study to be unique in its approach. Apart from the confessional position outlined above, we came to the texts without any preconceived notions about the nature, structure, and use of the Hebrew calendar. Conversely, the vast majority of works on the calendar are undertaken to prove a particular point of view. …
An Analysis Of Gospel Elements In Selected Major Works Of Charles Dickens, Steven Smith
An Analysis Of Gospel Elements In Selected Major Works Of Charles Dickens, Steven Smith
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
It is my thesis that Dickens' use of "Gospel elements" in the works studied is both intentional and fundamental to the themes and structures of the novels. The Gospel elements present are no afterthought or coincidence but significant in Dickens' intent and meaning.
The Doctrine Of Baptism As Confessed By C. F. W. Walther's Gesangbuch Of 1847, Jon Vieker
The Doctrine Of Baptism As Confessed By C. F. W. Walther's Gesangbuch Of 1847, Jon Vieker
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the vitality with which the Doctrine of Baptism was confessed in the hymnody of those who emigrated from Saxony to Perry County, Missouri and later formed "The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States."® Their first Gesanabuch of 1847,edited by C. F. W. Walther, the Missouri Synod's first President and stellar leader in nineteenth century American Lutheranism, will serve as the principal source.
The Promises Of Prosperity In The Old Testament An Exegetical And Theological Examination, Paul Naumann
The Promises Of Prosperity In The Old Testament An Exegetical And Theological Examination, Paul Naumann
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
Certain factions among Fundamentalism, Pentecostalism, Neo-Pentecostalism, Millennialism, and media religion (or what is frequently termed the "Electronic Church") proclaim what amounts to a gospel of success and physical/material prosperity. It can be systematized into three main teachings, with some overlap. They are 1) divine healing or divine health (i.e. never getting sick to begin with) 2) positive confession (i.e. we have what we say or" claim") and finally 3) material prosperity. For our purposes we shall put these all together and refer to them generally as "Prosperity Theology" without drawing a distinction between bodily and material wellbeing.
The Chrisitian Day Of Worship Gatherings- Its New Testament Practice And Theological Basis, David Fielding
The Chrisitian Day Of Worship Gatherings- Its New Testament Practice And Theological Basis, David Fielding
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
This paper presents an antidote to sabbatarianism, namely the New Testament teaching of Christ as the fulfillment of the sabbath. A corollary to this idea is the matter of Christian freedom regarding the day for worship. The principle of Christian liberty in such matters is neglected by legalistic sabbatarians. It needs to be said that Christ did not directly abolish the sabbath. He fulfilled it. Observance of a particular day is not satisfactory in the Christiane era, as this study demonstrates.
A Study Of The Root Hesych- In The New Testament, John Armstrong
A Study Of The Root Hesych- In The New Testament, John Armstrong
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this paradigmatic study is to compare and contrast hesychazein with similar terms such as sigan and siopan. To what extent are these words synonymous, and to what extent are they not? This is an example of the lexical field approach in which the meaning of a given word is not considered as an independent unit but as a component in the structure of a field of related words. Jost Trier, the pioneer of lexical field theory, has said that the value of a word is first known when it is marked off against the value of neighboring …
